"Fagen possesses none of the swagger of the typical rock dude—those
ambulatory ids who love to splash around inside the chaos of their own
stardom. He’s far too self-conscious for that. 'The fact is,' he
confesses in his introduction, 'until I got out of high school, I was
pretty sure I’d end up in journalism or teaching English or working in a
bookstore or something along those lines.' He is both blessed and
cursed with the observer mentality."
